If the unofficial inflation rate is 8.6% and your bond is 2.6% then you lost 6%. If the official inflation rate is 3.1% and your bond is 2.6% you lost 0.5%. Sooner or later bond holders will realize there is no more demand for US bonds, the current price of the bonds will peak, and then you are looking at a shitty interest rate or a drop in the bond price if you want to sell. When that day comes, and it will come, you will see the professionals leave the market followed by the retail costumers
article on CNBC says the treasury would OK negative yields meaning investors pay a "premium" for us protection. who in their right mind would do that. I'd rather own stock at that point
@freedomlover4422 Really, you think less Mexicans would come here if there were LESS jobs there? I doubt that. China has grown into a world power due to our investment in it and its labor force. I'm not saying it's a good thing, just that its truth. If we didn't send millions of dollars and jobs there, there would be millions more without work, or food.
Climate change is real, but the effects of man are debatable. There are a whole lot more factors than just CO2 in the air.
@trick29420 The earth goes through hot and cold cycles. In school, I was taught that we are coming out of the ice age. There's geological proof that the sea level was higher in the past.
@MourninGlory Not to mention the sun's cycles as well. The sun will reach peak temperature in 2013, at the top of it's 13 year heating/ cooling cycle. Also, the most abundant 'greenhouse' gas is not CO2, but H2O, water vapor. Regardless, I support all forms of 'alternate' energy. Petroleum is no doubt a dead end.
@trick29420 I support the research of alternative energy, but I don't think the government should be involved (Solyndra, Ener1 battery company, and Beacon Power). Since you seem to know so much, do you know if the sun will absorb the inner planets? I know it won't happen in my lifetime, but I was wondering if that would also contribute to the earth gradually getting warmer.
@MourninGlory I agree. I don't think the federal government should be subsidizing ANY industry. If they weren't already so involved, we would probably already have a viable alternative up and running. If individual states want to make some arrangements fine, but the feds fuck everything up.
As for the sun absorbing inner plants, I'm not really sure. I guess eventually it could happen, but the sun will probably burn out or explode before then.
@freedomlover4422 What's your point? Mexico and China are a whole lot better off working than they used to be. No? What's your solution? FORCE? That doesn't work. How will you afford to buy anything when the cost of production skyrockets 200%? Then you'd be bitching about the cost of living. Man made global warming is a politicians science, more excuses for taxes and control. 40 years ago we were warned of the coming ice age. Now this? The wars for oil are for the petrodollar.
@freedomlover4422 The Chinese earn more than they would without business. They also live in a fascist (formerly communist) one party system.
NAFTA and GATT are great failures. The financial institutions needed to crash completely, instead of being bailed out over and over again. But what would happen if we introduced huge tariffs or forced companies to hire all US or union workers with super high salaries and benefits? Products would be too expensive to afford...
@trick29420 Not to mention other countries would soon fall apart into poverty and millions more would rush to the US trying to immigrate here again diluting the workforce, expanding gov't handouts and creating more poverty here as well.
@freedomlover4422 That's the point, China doesn't force companies to pay for all those bloated expenses, which is a bigger reason manufacturing moves there than is wage rates.
@trick29420 If the Gov didn't make it so expensive, difficult, and dangerous (due to loose liability laws), to do business in the US, then manufacturing would stay here. You don't inherently save money by shipping a product tens of thousands of miles around the globe. You do so because of the outrageous financial burdens forced on us by your nanny state, at a cost of ten billion dollars a day.
@freedomlover4422 False. There is a massive amount of overhead in shipping tens of thousands of containers full of crappy merchandise across thousands of miles of ocean from China to here. If there wasn't there would be 0 manufactures here. There are still tens of thousands. It's also not just about labor costs, there are regulatory costs, often in the millions of $, a high corporate tax rate (for those without gov connects), payroll taxes, insurance premiums, liability....
@trick29420 ...insurance, unemployment insurance, licensing fees, training expenses, bloated union expenses, etc etc etc. Government interference is just that, interference, costing not only businesses, but also laborers, $10,000,000,000 a DAY (Federal). Tell me again, where does government get their money to provide all these things? That's right, the private WORKING sector. The best way to get more money into peoples pockets, is to leave it there in the first place.
@freedomlover4422 Glass-steagall is a major scape goat for this problem, its (partial) recall contributed to the collapse, but it's definitely not a cure all regulation. Libertarian society means massive deflation. Not sure how you figure this, but its total BS. Regardless, in a freer society with personal contracts being respected and enforced, money becomes less of a necessity due to better exchange of labor/ bartering/ and trade functions. The rest of your post is nonsense.
@freedomlover4422 You're terribly misguided. American's healthcare system is responsible for more significant medical advancements than all others combined. However it is greatly flawed due to the FDA stranglehold on rules, cures, meds etc, big pharma and big insurance political influence, failure to protect doctors with tort reform and doc/ patient contracts etc. Euro style is a mess and does not improve care, only wait times. Its not insurance that's the problem, it's cost.
@freedomlover4422 The housing bubble burst but it has been kept afloat with more easing and artificial interest rates. Real estate still has room to correct. Just because something hasn't happened, doesn't mean it won't. The FED is running out of options and more easing is very likely. Our debts are unsustainable and printing out may very well be a final solution. Baring those two scenarios, the other path to hyperinflation is removal of the USD as the worlds reserve.
@freedomlover4422 ...even though the official CPI does not include energy or food prices. Other than cell phones and other crappy foreign made products, the cost of most essential goods and services has risen. Even in a time of relative USD strength due to the problems of the Euro. A lot of dollars are being sold overseas keeping the supply out of the US market, if/when this money comes back, we will take a major hit in purchasing power.
@freedomlover4422 Not true. The money supply has also expanded greatly. Although much of the money is sitting in bank vaults and has yet to hit the market, keeping inflation at bay. Overall, prices have increased, where in a more generally free market, prices usually decline due to better advancements in technology, production efficiencies, and demand falloff. Even the feds admit to 3.6% inflation last year which is why SS recipients are getting pay increases.
@freedomlover4422 Well the price of gas is up ~%80 since 2008, ground beef is up over 20%, the cost of energy, (nat gas, electricity) is also up in the last few years.
Bill Gross has gone from long to short to long Treasuries in the past 12 months. Not sure what that means, but it does tell you he's willing to change his mind and he's not locked into an investment format.
I see the Wall Street Crooks are doing the Usual Pump and Dump on a Monday Morning here in the Lucky US while other countries are taking a dive. It's hilarious to watch these Artificial Market reports come out daily during an Election Year such as this. Starting off today 1/30/12 at 3:00 minutes after opening bell the market fell over 124.30 points and Loll and Behold at Closing it's not lost but 10.32 points. Great Job again Gang. You must really have some Schmucks you're selling your lies to.

*Crude is UNDERVALUED, fair value should be $136 to make the HPR since 1971 equal 3700%.
